The N.C. Museum of Art in Raleigh always offer great and affordable performances for families each year.

They're working to get the entire season on the museum's website so I don't have complete descriptions of all of the shows. But here's the schedule now. Each of the hour-long performances are at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Gems: The World's Wisdom Stories with Doug Berky, Oct. 29. Enjoy stories from around the world told through mime, puppetry, drama, comedy, and music. Performer Doug Berky inspires and educates with classic wise tales.
